The Martini

[Goodwatch]

One of my favourite drinks, next to the Gin-Tonic, is the Dry Martini. I've been experimenting with various recipes over the years and now I've began to settle for my own variation. 1/10 of Noilly Prat and 9/10 of Kettle One. And a drop of Angostura Bitter. The olive is there just for show so I mostly leave it out. And I don't pre-mix any more. I used to fill up a complete shaker with the mix and put that in the freezer. Don't do this! It will produce a brew that kicks like a mule and ruins the taste. In every Sub owner hides a Bond so I say cheers to you all!

I've ordered two bottles of Plymouth Dry Gin (landing next Monday) with two bottles of the Navy Strength on back-order. The weather is getting better and better over here so it becomes time for a Pink Gin. Or a fine Gin-Tonic. For some read-up on the Bond Martini, here's a link: http://007.atomicmartinis.com/index.html
